The problem of minimizing a sum of Euclidean norms dates from the 17th century and may be the earliest example of duality in the mathematical programming literature. This nonsmooth optimization problem arises in many different kinds of modern scientific applications. We derive a primal-dual interior-point algorithm for the problem, by applying Newton’s method directly to a system of nonlinear e...

We propose primal-dual path-following Mehrotra-type predictor-corrector methods for solving convex quadratic semidefinite programming (QSDP) problems of the form: minX{2X • Q(X) + C • X : A(X) = b,X 0}, where Q is a self-adjoint positive semidefinite linear operator on Sn, b ∈ Rm, and A is a linear map from Sn to Rm. At each interior-point iteration, the search direction is computed from a dens...

The assessment of local and regional impacts of climate change often requires downscaling of general circulation model (GCM) projections from coarser GCM-scale to finer localor catchmentscale spatial resolution. This paper provides an assessment of two downscaling approaches for simulation of daily rainfall over Sydney, Australia. The two downscaling alternatives compared include a multivariate...

Indian English poetry since the culmination of colonial phase took a decisive and deliberately marked shift from slavish imitation romantic writers like Keats, Byron, Shelly, Wordsworth to more progressive experimental style with methodical thematic innovativeness. It was known as post-independence which heralded arrival new way composing poems an indigenous ‘Indianness’ essence, sabotaging str...

The Neogene of Kutch, India is well known for its rich marine and terrestrial vertebrate assemblages. However, the data piscean fauna from middle Miocene very scarce. We report here additional chondrichthyan osteichthyan remains deposit Chhasra Formation, Palasava site, Gujarat, India. elasmobranchs include Carcharhinus Blainville, 1816 (C. brevipinna (Müller & Henle, 1839), C. falciformis ...
